What’s the answer?

52

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve this by dividing the shape into three rectangles.  The horizontal rectangles have the same dimensions (11 x 2).  The vertical rectangle has the dimensions of (8 x 1).  

You can determine the dimensions by the numbers given.  11 yards as the length for the hor. rectangles are given.  2 yards as the width for the hor. rectangles are also given.  For the ver. rectangles, we can determine that the width is 1 by the bottom rectangle.  The bottom rectangle shows that the length of the parts that are not connected.  We know the total length is 11.  11 - 10 = 1.  8 yards is given.

Now use the area equation for rectangles A = lw.

For the two hor. rectangles: A = (11)(2) = 22*2 = 44 yd²

For the ver. rectangle: A = lw = (8)(1) = 8 yd²

Total area = 44 + 8 = 52 yd²
